Winning a major championship is a dream for every professional golfer in the world. And after winning 15 of them, Tiger Woods knows what it actually means to a golfer and what difference it brings to one’s career. 

In an interview with Sky Sports Golf, he mentioned how winning a major can change a golfer’s life and career. 

Talking about what difference winning a Major makes, Woods said, “To be able to win one that just catapults you into another realm, to a different league of respect from your peers.” 

“The players who have won major championships, and especially those who have won multiple understand how difficult it is.”

He further added, “A lot of the players… all of us can have hot weeks, right.” The golf legend added that while winning a major is a great feeling, winning multiple times would put one into a different realm. 

Woods has won 15 major championships in his career. The golfer began winning major titles as soon as he turned pro; his first was at the 1997 Masters. He had won the championship with a 12-shot lead then.

Furthermore, with his win at the 2001 Masters, Tiger became the only golfer to win all the major titles at the same time. Since he was the first to do so, the achievement is named ‘Tiger Slam‘ after him. Moreover, he won a total of 12 majors from 2000 to 2008. 

Woods’ last victory at a major championship was at the 2019 Masters. With the win, he had become the second oldest to win one, after Jack Nicklaus. It was also the first time in 11 years he had won a major.
